Starting to fret

Long story short, MMC in June and nothing since. Turning 40 this year. I have been recently diagnosed with a thyroid disease which means my TSH is very very low. At the time of my last conception, thyroid was fine. I feel time is rapidly running out for me to have children. Every single person around me is either having babies or had babies or is pregnant. Some older, some younger and with each month that goes past, I get into a real state. Today I started spotting so clearly out for this month. Was so hopeful too. Just don't know what to do any more. I'm in a country where I can phone one day and have an appointment the next but at what point do I make that call? I went for my yearly smear recently and was told that if nothing had happened by my last endocrinologist appointment (for thyroid) then to come back to her and she would start proceedings. I'm the only person out of my group that actually ever REALLY wanted children....and now it isn't happening.

Get the ball rolling now. If you get up duffed in the meantime (and I really hope you do), you can cancel any appointments/ tests but once you seek medical help/ advice, there are lots of tests that can be done on a GP level to investigate likely causes.

Get the ball rolling and then keep trying in the mean time.

Everything is private here so literally I could phone today and have appt tmrw. It's just all shit. Why can it not just happen normally?

No advice OP, but sympathy. We tried for my a baby for almost 3 years, I finally summoned up the courage to go to the doctor about it & start that process, a few weeks later I was sat talking to a gynaecologist about our unexplained infertility with 0 hope left & unbeknown to me I was 4 weeks pregnant. It was too good to be true & I was sure something would go wrong but my DD is a now a beautiful little 9 month old. I NEVER thought it would happen to me just like you, & it did. Don't lose hope! It only takes one month to change everything!
